[QUOTE="15Stiftgasse, post: 4236958, member: 12382"]Further to my recent posting, I would be very grateful if you would allow me to tax your expertise regarding yet another item. I recently acquired (relatively cheaply) a Tongzhi marked lidded jar, standing some 15cm or so high. The design is very attractive - and commercially so, as well. It's for this reason that I am beginning to have my doubts about the piece - it's almost too nice, if you see what I mean. The painting quality (in my amateur opinion) seems to be good, the style and some facial characteristics seem consistent with the purported period. However, I suspect that the jar may be of later production - but hopefully not post- Republic period. I'd be interested to hear what you real experts think. Thanks !!!![ATTACH=full]336821[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]336822[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]336823[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]336824[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
